The monk simply smiled, then he stood up and took something from the bookshelf behind him then gave it to Ming Yue.
Ming Yue frowned.
A novel?
Does a monk also read such a reading? Now in many romance novels that contain pornographic things. Doesn't that contradict the teachings written in the sutra? And get into the three biggest bans?
He doesn't understand. But looking at the picture printed on the hard cover of the book, he felt familiar–two men and women were kissing under the ginkgo– tree of course he was not a stranger. How could he forget the damn book that made him transmigrate.
He with pursed lips, was about to throw the book out of his hand. That damn bearer's book, of course he wouldn't touch it.
But when she saw him looking at the title of the book which was printed using embossed writing and given that shiny effect, her forehead wrinkled.
Curious rada embossed.
He flipped the book and read the synopsis printed on its back cover. At that moment his forehead was also wrinkled. What the fuck? The wrinkles on his forehead deepened. His curiosity had disappeared and had been replaced by aggravation.
Opening the first page of the book, his hands clenched hard to cause nail marks on the book cover.
What kind of plot twist is this? Really worrying!
After entering into the novel World, he read a novel that told him about himself.
Your guess is not wrong! The book that Ming Yue was reading right now contained the narrative of her life before entering this World. Everything he experienced was written in this book. With detail and detail. This includes what only he and God know.
Even more surprising, in the book it is told that in the future he will also meet a man named Lu Ming.
The portrayal of Lu Ming within the novel, both visual and character, Ming Yue was able to find 100% similarity to Lu Ming in this World.
They meet on a blind date, fall in love with each other and... The story ends there.
On the last page the author says if he will make the second series of the book.
"Where's the follow-up?" Ming Yue asked the monk, wondering if he and Lu Ming would end up happy.
"Nothing." The monk replied.
"Hmmm..." Ming Yue closed the book and grabbed her tea cup which had been refilled by the monk. He held it up while thinking, whether the theory of paralle– worlds in this universe there is not only one world but there are other worlds that are the same but with different variables and time lapse.
Did God create this world like he was experimenting, making many samples from one research material.
Ming Yue shuddered. That's creepy!
He does not believe in parallel worlds. But no other explanation could explain what happened to him. "So the parallel world is right?" He asked the monk.
Hearing the question from Ming Yue the monk smiled again. “The world is too vast to research, whether or not, right or wrong, it all depends on each individual." The monk said.
"There are many things that go beyond reason and against the ordinances in the Bible. Like destiny. Man cannot change the destiny that God has written, but if a man tries very hard to change his destiny, God may be touched and give him an exception." The monk took the book from Ming Yue's hand, then turned it into a bookshelf.
"Law of attraction?" Ming Yue asked.
For example, if someone really wants something, he writes his desire in a book, thinks about it all the time, says it to himself and says he is rich every time he wants to sleep, he said, surely nature will permeate and send energy that can be petrified to realize the desire–Of course all of it must be accompanied by hard effort and never give up.
"It's not wrong, but it's bigger than that" the monk replied.
"Reincarnation?" Ming Yue guessed again, she remembered that Buddhists believed in the reincarnation system. But the reincarnated person will not remember his past life. Surely they do not reincarnate into themselves, they are reborn into different people or other living beings– may become animals, such as cows or pigs– at different times.
“That happened to the benefactor, I cannot explain it. But I can say if God gives a second chance to benefactor.”
The monk put the book back in its place and sat down again. “But, of course there is a price to pay to get that second chance.” he continued.
"Pay?" Ming Yue thought, God gave her a second chance but you were told to pay. Isn't that the same as buying and selling?
Ck, he knows God is not as good as the depiction in the verses of praise. If God does not count, will no creature have to suffer?
"But I never asked for it." Ming Yue said. His index finger moved in the direction of the clock hand touching the lips of the cup. He never asked to be given a second chance. Of course he's not willing to pay.
The monk seemed to be able to guess the path of Ming Yue's mind, a shallow smile hanging on his face. "Maybe it's not the benefactor who asks, but someone else."
Ming Yue raised her eyebrows. "If someone else asks for it's none of my business." He does not want to pay for other people's groceries even though he receives the benefits.
The monk only smiled faintly. The logic is like that, the buyer has to pay for it himself. But does this benefactor in front of him know that God does not follow human logic. From the beginning if you make a transaction with God, there will be no one who transacts fairly.
The price paid is always higher than the goods obtained.
"But how can we meet in two lives?" Ming Yue felt a little confused by that part. He lived in two different worlds but met the same person. Is the monk the same as him? A transmigrator?
"Ah, That..." The monk wrote something on the table using his index finger
Meanwhile Ron who was waiting outside the door started to feel unsettled, it had been almost more than two hours that Miss Ming was inside. He tried to eavesdrop but he could not hear any sounds. He sucked air through his teeth and if Miss Ming did not come out in fifteen minutes, he was forced to call out to him.
This is a place of worship filled with good people. But lately a lot of religious figures who stumble over a skewed scandal. The most recent issue, reported if a cleric is caught and proven to be sexually harassed.
Ron is an atheist and is very skeptical of religious people. He said they used religion as a cover to commit crimes.
As fifteen minutes had passed, Ron prepared to call Miss Ming but the door in front of him opened first. Miss Ming came out accompanied by the monk who seemed like his smile was no longer as bright as earlier.
“What happened to you?” Ming Yue asked as soon as she saw Ron's wet hair and clothes. Is it raining?
Ron smiled wryly and told her what happened in brief how she could get soaked.
It all started with a feeling of boredom because of waiting too long, Ron decided to go around and look for fresh air. He walked around the temple area until he finally found a stone inscription that was hidden under the entrance gate to the temple.
He thought the inscription contained a clue or a soul-lightening device. But after reading the first line, Ron became irritated again because he remembered the Betmen trap at the foot of the hill earlier. He grumbled and said he needed ice water to keep his head from exploding.
Who knows if his grunts were heard by a little monk. The little monk was a five-know boy who was still innocent, when he heard that someone's head was about to be let loose, without a second thought he took out a bucket of ice water and splashed it into Ron's head.
“Hahaha.” Ming Yue laughed.
